Imagine someone coming here to find out who we are and the board is full of homophobic themes, and with a prodigious out pouring of " stick in the butt" kind of phrases form our apparently mean spirited cadre of village louts as the face of our nation. It takes but a little policing. Raymond was supposed to do that. He is too busy chasing the green. He needs help. Please nominate someone to raise the class profile of our people on the world stage. We have been in the gutter for too long and cannot get out if these fellows who should know better continues to generate these vile memes that distort who we are.
I have been saying this for a long time. In fact the only reason I am here is to prevent the likes of Nehru, Yuji, drugb, etc., define what being Guyanese is. There is much to talk about and we can do without all of the childish nonsense.
Yes it was deeply embarrassing to do a Google search and Guyana and see Drugb screaming about black baigan and slop carriers, or Dave pasting monkey pics to depict black people, and the moderators claiming that they saw no evidence of bigotry.
